Abstract (en)
The present invention is directed to a flexible coupling device adapted to connect a first rotatable shaft with a second rotatable shaft. The coupling device generally includes a pair of opposing hubs (12 and 14), each of which is adapted to be secured to a respective shaft. A continuous and flexible coupling element(16) extends between the hubs. According to the present invention, the coupling element (16) is nonremovably associated with a pair of inner clamp rings (54,56), each adapted to be connected to one of the hubs. The coupling element (16) can be molded about the inner (12,14) clamp rings and can be adhesively secured to the rings. <IMAGE>
